I filmed the footage for the fourth scene on the 30th April, filming scenes out of order can be beneficial. The scene has more complex techniques than the others, filming it before the others gives me time to perfect it.
The Monday after is when I was able to begin editing this scene, the first step is to create a new folder and specifically added all of the scene 4 shots (Separating it from other footage). The next step was separating it into different shots and takes to find the best one. After efficiently organising my files for convenience, post production for this scene could begin. I wanted to experiment with the composition and techniques used within this opening so I created a draft without the cut-ins. Opening Premier Pro, I mass selected the chosen shots from the SD card's separate window ad dragged them directly into the import box at the bottom of the screen. From there I could use the mouse tool to drag each shot out onto the timeline into the right order, using the playback feature built into the software to occasionally re-watch what I has so far. This allowed me to double check that the shots I had chosen were not only in the right order, but also if they had any faults i hadn't previously identified.
Once I'd had them all lined up, I used the razor tool on the timeline to make cuts in the footage, creating the continuity techniques known as matching on action. Which creates smooth movements between shots so the audience don't pay attention to the actual edits as much.
After completing all of this, I selected files<export<media to export my video into an mp4 clips. Before I fully exported it however, I selected the 'Render at Maximum depth' and H.264 options so the video was rendered and formatted appropriately.
